Hello everyone,

I would like to learn how to code for windows and have taken the steps
to begin doing so. The only problem I have is getting a compiler. I have
been using DJGPP as my dos compiler for quite a while now, but do not
see how it could be used for Win programming.

Seeing as I am rather tapped for cash right now, would anyone be able to
recommend a compiler that is free or relatively low in cost? I will
eventually be getting VC++.

I have taken a look at Cygwin and was wondering if anyone had any
comments about it, and if for the time being it could have some use to
me.


Thanks for any input,

Derek Sauer
